discord.js - Imagine a boo! 👻•3w ago

Trying to play a clicking sound effect in a voice channel, however I get this instead.

Hi, My @discordjs/voice version is 0.7.5 and I'm having a slight issue with playing it. I've tried to install ffmpeg by using sudo apt install ffmpeg, however, no luck. Here's my playClickSound function:

function playClickSound(connection) {
    const player = createAudioPlayer();
    const resource = createAudioResource(path.resolve(__dirname, 'sound-effects/click.mp3'));
    connection.subscribe(player);
    player.play(resource);
    player.on('error', error => {
        console.error(`Error playing sound: ${error.message}`);
    });

    player.on('idle', () => {
        console.log('Finished playing the click sound.');
    });
}

function playClickSound(connection) {
    const player = createAudioPlayer();
    const resource = createAudioResource(path.resolve(__dirname, 'sound-effects/click.mp3'));
    connection.subscribe(player);
    player.play(resource);
    player.on('error', error => {
        console.error(`Error playing sound: ${error.message}`);
    });

    player.on('idle', () => {
        console.log('Finished playing the click sound.');
    });
}

The error is in the picture.

0.7.5 is incredibly outdated as mentioned in the pinned post here, please make sure you're using at least 0.16.0 or newer latest is 0.17.0

which suggests connection is undefined

d.js docs•3w ago

- ReferenceError: "x" is not defined: learn more - TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined/null (reading "x"): learn more

oh yeah mb one second well i fixed most of it however i can't get it to play the sound do i have to set the volume or is it automatically on 100%

duck•3w ago

it starts at 100% since your deps were previously an issue, let's start by confirming those

    const player = createAudioPlayer();
    const resource = createAudioResource(path.resolve(__dirname, 'sound-effects/click.mp3'), {
        inlineVolume: true  
    });
    resource.volume.setVolume(1.0); 
    if (!connection) {
        console.error('Voice connection is undefined.');
        return;
    }
    connection.subscribe(player); 
    player.play(resource);

    player.on('error', (error) => {

    });
    resource.volume.setVolume(1.0); 
    if (!connection) {
        console.error('Voice connection is undefined.');
        return;
    }
    connection.subscribe(player); 
    player.play(resource);

    player.on('error', (error) => {
        console.error(`Error playing sound: ${error.message}`);
    });

    player.on('idle', () => {
        console.log('Finished playing the click sound.');
    });
}

@discordjs/voice depends on [email protected], so I'd suggest just sticking to the version it uses opusscript and tweetnacl also look like they could use updates

acatto•3w ago

okay give me one sec lemme update them which versions are they now on?

duck•3w ago

you can easily check yourself, and also you could just install using the latest tag but latest are [email protected] and [email protected]

acatto•3w ago

so confusing, i installed 0.1.1 but it still says 0.0.8 oh it's discord.js's opusscript

duck•3w ago

not sure what you mean by that given that neither discord.js nor any of the subpackages depend on opusscript

acatto•3w ago

correct me if i'm wrong, but this is discord.js's version of opusscript integrated in @discordjs/voice

duck•3w ago

not exactly furthermore I have to ask, are you editing your lockfile directly?

acatto•3w ago

no, i'm editing my package.json i've also regenerated it i got it working thanks for the help
